How to recycle mobile phones

Every year over half a million mobile phones are thrown out in the rubbish and sent to various land fill sites throughout the UK. This can have a severe effect on the environment as mobile phone are often manufactured using dangerous chemicals and toxins such as Beryllium, Mercury, Palladium, Arsenic, Lead and Cadmium. If these escape into our environment it could cause major environmental damage.

In a recent survey, it was revealed that there are over 60 million redundant mobile phones in the UK, each of which poses a threat to the environment. With rapid advancements in mobile phone technology, people are now upgrading their mobile phones every 18 months.

How It Works

Getting Paid To Help The Environment

Getting paid to recycle and help protect the environment is a rarity. By sending in your old mobile phone to be recycled you can help to stop some of the 60 million mobile phones that are set to arrive in the UK's landfills over the next few years. This would cause unimaginable damage to the environment.

We all have old mobile phones lying around the house, in the back of dusty draws. Do your bit and recycle them and help spread the word about the benefits of mobile phone recycling to your friends and family.
